PREFACE.
r-fpi
i HE Editors of the following Com-
pilation, unwilling to am-ufe the Pu-
blic with an empty harangue, or a
gaudy apparatus of words, by way of
introduction to their Book ; only beg
leave to make the following; obferva-
tions : —
Since time immemorial, it has liQQn.
allowed, that Mufic has always been
efteemed an ancient and powerful
Science.
We are informed, from Heathen
Mythology, that Mufic was invented
by Apollo, who was ftyled the God
of Willi era,

iv THE PREFACE.
How miific was cultivated In thofe
early ages, impartial hiilory alone can
tell* Suffice it to fay, that this ele-
vating Science had it's patrons, and
proficients, in moil ages and nations.
And it is with pleafure we obierve,'
that this celeftial progeny has ilill it's
abettors in our own country. The
public attention paid by many Gentle-
men of Scotland, to this polite and
very neceffary part of education, is at
once patriotic and laudable.
The Publifhers of the following
fheets, look forward to that Golden
JEra, when, they trail, that Mujlc fhall
not only attract the attention of fupe-'
rior minds, but when it fhall acquire-
that univerfal eilimation,that a Science
fo fablime, richly deferves.
With a fincere view to promote
-this end, the following Collection of
Songs, fet to Mufic. is, with all fub-
miilion, offer ed to the Public. The
Selectors of this Work, humbly ima~
THE PREFACE. v
giiie, they may without the lead fha-
dow of vanity, aver, that it is the fird
Publication of the kind, ever attempt-
ed in Scotland. — The arrangement of
the Words, as well as the Muiic, has
been (hidied with the greateft atten-
tion ; and being de-figned for the en-
tertainment both of Ladles and Gentle--
men, the ftricleft care has been taken,
to avoid inddicacy.
Befides a great number of modern
Songs of real humour and tafle, there
are alio inferted, a great variety' of the
mo ft beautiful Scots Airs, to many
of which, the Baffes are added.
How far the Editors of this Work,;
have been fuccefsful in the Selection
they have made, Time and a candid
Public, only mufl determine.
Let it only be obferyed in one
word, that the influence of Muiic over
the human mind, is fully evinced, by
the Prince of Latin poetry.— Vir^iL

Now Davie did each lad furpafs
That dwelt on this bum fide;
And Mary was the bonnieft lafs,
Juft meet to be a bride.
Blyth Davie's blinks, £&.
Her cheeks were rofy, red and white,
Her ee'n were bonny blue,
Her looks were like Aurora bright,
Her lips like dropping dew.

What pafs'd, I guefs, was harmlefs play,
And nothing, fure, unmeet !
For, ganging Hame, I heard them fay,
They lik'd a walk fo Tweet.
Blyth Davie's blinks, &c.
His cheeks to her's he fondly laid ;
She cry'd, " Sweet love be true ;
«< And when a wife, as now a maid,
» To death I'll follow you."
Blyth Davie's blinks, fyc*
As fate had dealt to him a routh,
Straight to the kirk he led her ;
There plighted her his faith and truth.
And a bonny bride he made her.
No more amam'd to own her love,
Or fpeak her mind thus free j

" And I will follow thee."

The body we'll bury, but pray where 'a the hurry ?
Why Lord, Sir, the corpfe it does ftay :
You fool hold your peace, lince miracies ceafe,
A corpfe, Mofes, can't run away.
Then Mofes he fmil'd, faying, Sir, a fmall child
Cannot long delay your intentions ;
Why that's true, by St Paul, a child that is fmall,
Can never enlarge it's dimenfions.
Bring Mofes fome beer, and bring me fome, d'ye hear,
I hate to be call'd from my liquor :
Come, Mofee, The King, 'tis a fcandalous thing-,
Such a fubjecl mould be but a Vicar.
Then Mofes he fpoke, Sir 'tis pall twelve o'clock,
Befides them's a terrible mower ;
Why Mofes, you elf, fince the clock has ftruck twelre,
I'm fure it can never flrike more.
Befides, my dear friend, this leffon attend,
Which to fay and to fwear I'll be bold,
That the corpfe, fnow or rain, can't endanger, that'splain,
But perhaps you or I may take cold.
Then Mofes went on, Sir the clock has flruck one,
Pray mailer look up at the hand ;
Why it ne'er can flrike lefs, 'tis a folly to prefs
A man for to go that can't Hand.
At length, hat and cloak old Orthodox took,
But firil cram'd his jaw with a quid ;
Each tipt off a gill, for fear they mould chill,
And then ftagger'd away lide by fide.
When come to the grave, the 'clerk hum'd a Have,
Whilft the furplice was wrapt round the Priell ;
Where fo droll wrfs the figure of Mofes and Vicar,

Good people, let's pray, put the corpfe t'other way,
Or perchance I mall over it -itumble ;
'Tis beil to take care, tho? the fages declare,
A mortuum caput can't tremble.
Woman that's born of a man, that's wrong, the leaf 's

O man, .that is born of a woman,
Can't, continue an hour, but is cut down like a flow'r;
You iee, Moles, death fpareth no man.
Here, Mofes, do look, what a confounded book,
''Sure the letters are turn'd upfide down.
Such a fcandalous print, fure. the devil is in't,
That this Bafket mould print for the Crown.
Prithee, Mofes, you read, for I cannot proceed,
And bury the corpfe in my (lead.
(Amen. Amen.)
Why, Mofes, your're wrong, pray hold ft ill your tongue,
You've taken the tail for the head.
O where's thy fling, Death! put the corpfe in the earth,
For, believe me, 'tis terrible weather.
So the corpfe was interr'd, without praying a word.

To the Highland hills, the Earfe to lear
I'll baith gi'e thee a cow and ew,

At night when ye fit down to fpin,

And thus the weary night we'll end,
Till the tender kid and lamb- time bring
Our pleafant fummer back again.
Syne when the trees are in their bloomy
And go wane glent o'er ilka field,

Then far frae a' their fcornfu din,
That make the kindly hearts their fport
We'll laugh and kifs, and dance and fing,.

But, though fiSe could fmik,yet in truth fhe could frown
But tell me, ye lovers of liquor divine,
Did you e'er fee a frown in a bumper of wine I
Her lulies and rofes were juft in their prime ;
Yet lillies and rofes are conquer'd by time :
But, in wine, from it's age fuch benefit flows,
That we like it the better the older it grows.
48 THE MUSICAL
They tell me my love would in time have been cloy'd,
And that beauty's infipid when once 'tis enjoy'd ;
But in wine I both time and enjoyment defy,
For, the longer I drink, the more thirfty am I.
Let murders, and battles, and hiftory, prove
The mifchiefs that wait upon rivals in love ;
But in drinking, thank heav'n, no rival contends^
For, the more we love liquor, the more we are friends.
She too might liave poifon'd the joy of my life,
With nurfes, and babies, and fqualling and ilrife ;
But my wine neither flurfes or babies can bring,
And a big-bellied bottle's a mighty good thing.
We fhorten our days when with love we engage ;
It brings on difeafes and haftens old age :
But wine from grim death can it's votaries fave.
And keep out t'other leg when there's one in the grave.
Perhaps, like her fex, ever falfe to their word,
She has left me — to get an eftate, or a lord ;
But my bumpers (regarding nor titles nor pelf)
Will ftand by me when I can't Hand by myfelf.
Then let my dear Chloe no longer complain ;
She's rid of her lover, and I of my pain ;
For in wine, mighty wine, many comforts I fpy. —
Should you doubt what I fay, take a bumper and try.

Stars qulite tired with pallimes Olympical.
Stars and planets that beautiful (hone,
Could no longer endure that men only ihould
Revel in pleasures, and they but look on.
Round about horned Lucina they fwarmed,
And quickly inform'd her how minded they were,
Each god and goddefs to take human bodies,
As lords and ladies, to follow the hare.
Chafte Diana applauded the motion,
And pale Prpferpina fat down in her place,
To guide the welkin and govern the ocean,
While Dian conducted her nephews in chace.
By her example, their father to trample,
The earth old and ample, they foon leave the air :
Neptune the water, and wine Liber pater,
And Mars the flau.gh.ter, to follow the hare.
Young god Cupid was mounted on Pegafus,
Borrow'd o' th' mufes with kifies and prayers;
Stern Alcides upon cloudy Caucafus
Mounted a centaur that proudly him bears.
The poftilion of the fky, light-heel'd fir Mercury,
Made his fwift courfer fly fleet as the air ;
While tuneful Apollo the paltime did follow,
To whoop and to hollow, boys, after the hare.
Drowned Narciffus, from his metamorpholls
Rous'd by Echo, new manhood did take.
Snoring Somnus upitarted from Cim'ries :
Before for a thoufand years he did not wake.
There was lame club-footed Mulciber booted ;
And Pan, too, promoted on Corydon's mare.
Eolus flouted; with mirth Momus fliouted;
While wife Pallas pouted, yet follow'd the hare.
Grave Hymen ufhers in lady Aftrea.

Quick the topfail fheets let go ;
Luff, boys, luff, don't make wry faces I
Up your top fails nimbly clew !
Slow.
Now all you on down- beds fporting,
Fondly lock'd in beauty's arms,
Frefh enjoyments wanton courting,
Free from all but love's alarms, —
Round us roar the tempeft louder ;
Think what fear our mind enthrals ;
Harder yet, it yet blows harder ;
No again the boatfwain calls :
Quick.
The topfail-yards point to the wind, boys !
See all clear to reef each courfe !
Let the fore-meets go ; don't mind, boys,
Though the weather mould be worfe.
Fore and aft the fprit-fail yard get ; '
Reef the mizen ; fee all clear :
Hand up ! each preventer-brace fet ;
Man the fore- yard j cheer, lads, cheer !
Slow.
Now the dreadful thunder's roaring !
Peals on peals contending clafh !
On oiir heads fierce rain falls pouring !
In our eyes blue lightnings flafh!
One wide water all around us,
All above us one black iky !
DifPrent deaths at once furround us.
Hark ! what means that dreadful cry,?
MISCELLANY. Ill
Quick.
The foreman's gone, cries every tongue out,
O'er the lee, twelve feet 'bove deck.
A leak beneath the cheft-tree's fprung out ;
Call all hands to clear the wreck.
Quick the lanyards cut to pieces !
Come, my hearts bt flout, and bold !
Plumb the well, the lake increafes ;
Four feet water in the hold !
Slow.
While o'er the fhip wild waves are beating,
We for wives or children mourn ;
Alas ! from hence there's no retreating ;
Alas ! from hence there's no return.
Still the lake is gaining on us ;
Both chain- pumps are choak'd below,
Heav'n have mercy here upon us !
For only that can fave us now '
Quick
O'er the lee-beam is the land, boys j
Let the gunso'er-board'be thrown ;
To the pump come ev'ry hand, boys ;
See our mizen-mafl is gone,
The leak we've found ; it cannot pour faft :
We've light en'd her a foot or more ;
Up, and rig a jury fore-mail ;
She rights, (he rights, boys! wear off more.
Now once more on joys we're thinking,
Since kind fortune fpar'd our lives ;
Come the cann, boys, let's be drinking
To our fweetheants and our wives.
Fill it up, about fhip wheel it ;
Clofe to th' lips a brimmer join.
Where's the tempetl now ; who feels it ?
None ! .our danger's diown'd in wine !

WELCOME BROTHER DEBTOR,

WELCOME, welcome, brother debtor,
To this poor but merry place,
Where no bailiff, dun, or fetter,
Dare to mew a frighful face.
But, kind Sir, as your're a ftranger,
Down your garnifh you rauft lay,
Or your coat will be in danger;
You rauft either ftrip or pay.
Ne'er repine at your confinement
From your children or your wife :
Wifdom lies in true refinement,
Through the various fcenes of Irfe,
Scorn to mew the leaft refentment,
Though beneath the frowns of fate9
Knaves and beggars find contentment.
Fears and cares attend the great.
Though our creditors are fpiteful,
And reftrain our bodies here,
Ufe will make a jail delightful,
Since there's nothing elfe to fear,
Every ifland's but a prifon,
Strongly guarded by the fea :
Kings and princes, for that reafon,
Pris'ners are as well as we.
What was it made great Alexander,
Weep at his unfriendly fate ?
'Twas becaufe he could not wander
Beyond the world's ftrong prifon-gate.
The world itfelf is ftrongly bounded
By the heavens and {tars above :
Why mould we then be confounded,
Since there's nothing free but love ?

'Twas then our perfect — our perfect laws were made*
Eitablim'd by his flri& command. _
Hail ! myfterious — hail ! glorious Mafonry,

As man throughout for fhelter fought,
In vain from place to place did roam,
In vain from place to place did roam,
Until from heaven — from heaven he was taught
To plan, to build, and fix his h©me.
Hail ! mytienous, £jV.
From hence illuftrlous rofe our art,
And now it's beauteous piles appear,
And now it's beauteous piles appear,
Which mail to endlefs — to endlefs time impart,
How worthy and hew great we are.
Hail ! myfterious, &c.
Nor we, lefs fam'd for ev'ry tye,
By which the human thought is bound,
By which the human thought is bound,
Love, truth, and friendlhip— -and friendfhip focially^
Doth join our hearts and hands around.
Hail ! myfterious, &'c.

And to our precepts ever true,
And to our precepts ever true,

Nae lintwhite on all" the gay plain,
Nor goudfpiuk fae bonny as {he.
I whittled, I pip'd, and I fang,
I woo'd, but I came nae great fpeed, ''0
Therefore I maun wander abroad,
And lay my banes over the Tweed.
To Maggy my love I did tell,
Saut tears did my paliion exprefs ;
Alas ! for I lo'ed her o'er well,
And the women lo'ed fie a man lefs.
Her heart, it was frozen and cauld,
Her pride had my ruin decreed,
Therefore I will wander abroad,
And lay my banes far f'rae the Tweed.

AH CWoe ! thou treafure, thou joy of my breaft, 1
Since I parted from thee, I'm a ilranger to reft, j
1 fly to the grove, there to languifh and mourn,
There figh for my charmer, and long to return ;
The fields all around are finding and gay,
But they fmile all in vain — my Chloe's away ;
The field and the grove can aiford me no eafe,—
But bring me my Chloe, a defart will pleafe.
No virgin I fee that my bofom alarms,
I'm cold to the fair.efl, tho' glowing with charms,
In vain they attack me, and fparlde the eye ; ^ -
Thefe, are not the looks of ray Chloe, I cry.
Thefe looks, where bright love, like the fun fits enthron'dj
And fmiling diffufes his influence round ;
'Twas thus" I firft view'd thee, my ch?irmer amaz'd,
Thus gaz'd thee with wonder, andlov'd while I gaz'd.
Then, then the dear fair one was ft ill in my fight.
It was pleafure all day, it was rapture all night ;
But now by hard fortime.remov'd from my fair,
In fecret I languifh, a prey to defpair ;
But abfence and torment abate not my flame,
My Chloe's ftill charming, my paifion the fame ;

Then abfence would pleafe me, for I would be blefs'd.
